I am a longboarder. Let that set in. I'm not the guy most people think of. The little punk on a board causing trouble. That used to be me but without the board part. Then my cousin introduced me to longboarding. I got a double drop board and I LOVE IT. That board and this community saved me. I try to go and ride every day. My story isn't big but it is one. I grew up with a drug addicted mom and life was pretty bad. I moved in with my dad and started to rebel. I used to smoke weed and I got into a lot of trouble. Since I got my board, I have quit smoking and I get into a lot less trouble now. My dad gets my addiction. I'm addicted to riding. He is so cool with it. One more thing, riding whether its on a skate board or long board it helps all my stress go away. Have fun and be safe. I hope this helps.

I'm the one on the end I used to do the same stuff Trevor did I snuck out ran from the cops because there was nothing to do then we started boarding now the cops our saying we can't board

Hey Thomas, Jacob and I talked to Loveday and he said as long as we are respectful and honest we shouldn't get in trouble. Just remember cops are people to. They deserve respect.

Here are a few things that have really helped us build good relationships in out community :
- Wear Helmets!
- Stop and move to the side of the road when a car is coming. Give them more than enough space.
- Smile and wave when the car goes past.
- Never skate on busy roads.
